Well, now we know how silly it would be to compare next gen UT screenshots to Source.
Still, this means that they'll have a LONG time to refine the gameplay, which is a really good thing.

[edit] I like your new screenies though.
Wait! So the gameplay might not be ****?! Or will it simply be an Unreal Battlefield Vietnam?

From what I hear that is the idea. Thier trying to get the game back into a closer quarters feel, enphasize a little more stratigy then before and what not.
Rest assured gameplay is the #1 priority. They are doing boarderline excessive gameplay testing at this point in time, and the plan is to not prettify up the game until they KNOW they are in a sweet spot.
I wouldn't mind them adding the melee weapons from unreal championship 2 though ^~
UT felt different from the quake games yet for some weird reason UT2kx games moved more towards Q3 rather than continue to refine it's already strangely unique style.
I've always moaned that UT2kx is too quakey and the news that they're trying to re-instate it back to more 'UT' styled gaming is music to my ears.
I really don't see why they should try to be another game when the one they had was perfectly fine for the audience it drew anyways.
And by "true" I mean actual deathmatch. None of this teamgame **** with cheap deathmatch tacked on, but a game MADE for deathmatch. I hate teamgames, because I hate playing with people. People are stupid, and are generally nothing but a hinderance in games...why would I want to team with anyone? Give me deathmatch.
The old UT's deathmatch was much more fun for me than the ut2kx games offer. Why? Because I find 'frantic' FPSses to be a bit dull in all honesty; everything is going so fast that you don't really have time to really register personality or playing style behind the person under your crosshair. Everyone is just another walking target... half the time you don't even care who you're shooting as long as it's a frag.
It's like the old UT had a slightly slower but more personal fighting style to it. The current one feels more like being dropped in a blender; blood everywhere and constant movement :/
I just find that the fun factor of the speedier games is somewhat limited as it just comes across to me as being somewhat shallow. Course; that's just my own personal opinion and in many ways it's also something I consider 'quakey' :3
And UT2k4 is only like being dropped into a blender on 6 person or more servers. There's no reason to play ANY deathmatch game with more than 4-6 people. Anything higher is just a cluster****. Then again, I find UT2k4 all-together far too slow paced, even if I do love it.
(The only good thing to come out of Quake 3 is Promode trickjumping, which UT2k4 has in droves compared to UT2k4. UT2k4 really needs promode.)
And as far as jumping, it didn't add anything? You could leap a good 35-40 feet over someones head and blast them in the back of the skull with a flak cannon by doing a double-wall-jump. It was wonderful if you took the 20 minutes to learn the basics of walldodging.
EDIT: Spelling, new paragraph, new sentence in parethenses, and this edit message. Anda new paragraph.
I merely said that I didn't think it was a teamgame with deathmatch tagged on and explained why I wasn't a fan of UT2k4, especially when it's put beside it's older relative ^^
Oh and yeah... the more players the more hectic it is but I like having a fair number of people in my games and large maps so I guess that might be another reason for my lack of love for UT2k4 DM :p
I liked onslaught as others also admitted but I liked fighting in the turrets and vehicles; fighting on foot was tiresome thanks to the large areas and people hopping about like a whole flea circus on about 30 different kinds of crack.
<b>edit:</b> weee typo!
<b>edit 2:</b> as for wall jumping, double jumping and all that; sure it takes skill but I honestly don't want people floating about all the time in an FPS. That's the kind of thing I prefer to play smash bros for rather than burn time on UT2k4.
My basic complaint is that it's UT2k4; I wanted more UT with new stuff added, not a game that feels totally different even on fundamental levels so that it resembles some weird messed up mutation caused by quake 3 and smash bros having a one night stand :p
And Onslaught was one of my less favoured modes of UT2k4. Too vehicle focused. I hate vehicles in multiplayer games. Only game that did it well was Tribes, because vehicles were only useful as a team for dropping in attack squads.
Communicating your point poorly and calling others idiots isn't a good way to go about things y'know :/
I loved tribes ^^
I may have got the wrong end of the stick but if you leave your posts as open as that then I don't think you have much merit to sling accusations of mental deficiency around :p
let's face it; your post was a reply to mine in which I talked about UT's deathmatch style. You go through the second paragraph talking about deathmatch without really mentioning any specific example so I took it to mean we were still on the same subject.
Alone, your post makes sense the way you talk about it; taking what others have said into account and that it's a reply, I think my interpretation of it was fair enough even if it wasn't what you meant. Of course, rather than just saying "ah wait that's not what I meant" you come out with a "omg joo stupid" attitude.
Even though you keep mentioning it so often and to such extremes that it seems sarcastic, I suspect your posted view on teamgames explains your posting style as much as anything; alone, without context to what's around it.
No wonder you don't like teamgames :p
<b>edit:</b> by the way... I still don't see why you think I said you thought UT 'sucked'. you might not like teamgames but you still said you liked UT; I was just explaining my personal take on UT.
I'm not angry at him or anything, I'm just trying to point out he's being a bit rough :3
I really do miss the fun of UT though...
Edit: I fully agree with lolfighter. Just don't take my wall-dodge away. I can live without double-jumping. ;(
Well at least when I played, i could make some of the best progress on foot, sometimes vehicles would just draw fire and attention.
And its my personal opinion that they added the trickjumps and adrenaline combos to give the game more of a sporting event feel, emphasizing the "Tournament" in their name. I just don't think that many FPS gamers are looking for that <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And yea....teammates aren't that bad, theres usually not too many auful ones if you pick a decent server. How exactly do you feel about playing NS then? Since theres no way to be not on a team and all....
NS was fine for teamplay because it forced people to act as a team and not be retards. Honestly, there's a reason I've avoided online gaming for the past 6 or 7 months...and that reason is people. Only online game I play now is WoW, and I've only been playing retail for a week or two.
And no, I'm not Private Coleman. I'm just a very angry person. So a preemptive shut the hell up is here.
EDIT: I think I have edititis. I don't think I've ever made a post I haven't edited or added to.
It was just too floaty, too many crackrabbits, Double jump standard and the quad-jump mutator.
Ons is nice, but only if you get in a vechicle, and you never get a vechicle.
And of course, due to the "battlefield" factor, people will generally just grab multi-person vechicles and just take off, without waiting for others to jump in.
But even if you could get in, its generally not all that fun. For the most part, the driver gets the best weapon at their disposal, leaving everyone else, people who don't even get the enjoyment of being able to drive the damn thing, with some useless peashooter.
and as I said, its only fun in a vechicle. On foot its just too open to do anything with any of the hand held weaponry. You just spam weapons and jump around and hope the other guy dies.
and for the maps without vechicles and wide open spaces..
Well, its just as bad.
oh well.
I only bought UT2k4 for the mods.
Tribes2 > UT200X
That is all.
